“Idiot” & A Short List Of More American Insults

This is going to sound silly, but one of my favorite insults in English is actually the word “idiot.” I don’t really know why I enjoy hearing that word, but I do. I think it sounds funny too. So whenever I hear it or whenever I say it, I giggle a little. Try saying it: “idiot.” Did you giggle a little when you said it? Or maybe that’s just my silly reaction. Anyway, please don’t just randomly call people “idiot” because they might not appreciate that.
